Steinhatchee activities dominated by scallop trips
Scallops Dominate
Our activities continue to be dominated by scallop trips. Which is a good thing.
We are thankful for such a wonderful resource to enjoy and share!
But, for me, nothing can substitute the pull of a upper slot size Red, or the violent head shake of a 22″ Trout in 18″s of water. So I go. Flats fishing in warm water is challenging. The rewards for determination will come one out of 3 days. I like to say “you won’t know if you don’t go”.
So fish early, safe light is between 6:30 & 7, and scallop when the temp gets up.
God Bless and Good Fishing

Adjust your departure times
You got to Adjust
Although we’re still catching Fish around the Big Bend area off the Levy/Citrus County coasts, the numbers are down. Also the window of opportunity has shortened.
Recently we’ve adjusted our departure times to as early as possible, as well as moving a little further offshore to get the job done.
Surface water temps in the area are now approaching 90 degrees. The fish don’t like it, and neither do I.
Best bet is to plan your trips as close to the full or new moon as possible in order to take advantage of the extreme tides, and get out there early.

Scalloping Good As Ever
Scalloping continues to be as good as ever. In spite of the regular rains, which we are thankful for, the flats have stayed clear.
Trout fishing has been good one out of three mornings shallow. Deeper flats, 6-10ft, trout have been more dependable on days the wind lays.
When the tide is right, morning Reds will cooperate.
Thanks for checking in with us. God Bless and Good Fishing

Steinhatchee?Scalloping Guide and Fishing Guide Captain Steve Kroll
Hey fisherman and scallopers, What a pleasant surprise. The state of Florida gave us an average report or scallop count. Gainesville Sun reported the count was half of the previous year. I am not here to say they were wrong, only that the areas where they performed their data collection was not the area we are gathering scallops. We all hope that it will hold up.
Mean while, I have been doing some early morning fishing trips. Our success has been mixed. Great topwater bite one?morning, Reds and Trout. I watched a 30″ Red come out of the water and take a “spook”. I’ve caught reds on top before, but never had I seen?such a strike. Also, last week, myself and a customer were able to get 4 jumps out a 90lb Tarpon. I’ll keep you posted. And include photos.
Enjoy your summer and God Bless and Good Fishing and Sscalloping

THE FISHING IS GOOD ON THE GULF OF MEXICO
Fishing off the Citrus/Levy Count coasts continues to be very good for this time of year.
Although we’ve limited most of our trips to half a day, fishing the early morning hours really pays off.
Recently we’ve been able to limit out on Spotted Sea Trout. We’ve also caught our fair share of Spanish Mackerel, Pink Mouth Grunts, and a variety of other species, including the occasional Snook and Cobia.
In a word the fishing has been good.
I spotted a water spout one day last week. This is one of natures wonders you want to steer clear of.
Scallop season opened July 1st and closes Sept. 10th. Better get-um while you can.
